As "the first person in China's landscape performance", Wang Chaoge's new work "Only Love" sounds very different from the previous works in name.
"All of my works are different," Wang Chaoge emphasized. But it is really different from the past. The performance of the new work is located in a sea of European-style flowers in Yancheng, Jiangsu. It is said that there are 40,000 flowers blooming at the same time every day.
In 2003, Wang Chaoge's first landscape live performance "Impression of the Third Sister Liu" gained fame and unexpectedly moved Yangshuo's tourism. About four years ago, the person in charge of Huahai District visited Wang Chaoge, hoping that she could also create a play for Huahai, and then create the success of "a play for a city", but several times because it was impossible to arrange time Declined. The persistent Huahai sent her an invitation to her again. At first she just wanted to "see the Huahai out of politeness", but when she went there, she was touched.

"I was attracted by the huge sea of flowers. It was really beautiful! I was shocked by the couple in Huahai. They took wedding photos in the sea of flowers and registered their marriage there... Yes, there are in the sea of flowers The Civil Affairs Bureau, where newcomers can directly apply for marriage registration, is so new. This feeling of'love' has deeply infected me." She felt that this was so rare in big cities.
"I don't think people are enjoying a particularly happy life now. Whether it is post-90s, post-80s, or post-70s, they have their own problems and rushes. Why do you feel less happy?" When she and her friends talk about love and marriage At that time, young friends often tossed her a phrase "still talking about love? Now there is love -?" This surprised her.
When I meet a few times, I have to talk about some rules, conditions, and even height. There are digital requirements... The love of that era "Never wants to be poor, rather than suffering, but keep the spirit of abundance, keep yourself noble. Because I love you. "How has it become an obsolete thing in the eyes of many people?" Wang Chaoge puzzled.
"I especially want to talk to you about this matter. My view is not like this." Wang Chaoge said firmly: "The key is that everyone thinks this phenomenon is justified, but if you think about it from another angle, you will not be bound by these phenomena. , It is possible that your future life will be happier. This is the best choice."
There are 6 theaters in "Theatre of Fantasy", each theater will have several theater spaces, and dozens of stories about love will be staged in parallel every day. They are all selected and adapted from Wang Chaoge's hundreds of real materials into stage plays. "The span of region, the span of age, and even the span of different sides of love are all there."

"I don't want to whitewash love, and I won't sing love all the way to love." There are many new works that seem to be talking about some short things in parents: derailment, betrayal, divorce, cold violence...
Interestingly, there are no audience seats in the theater of Fantasy City. When the audience enters the performance space, they will be integrated into the performance and become a part of the performance. The actors' lines are designed to ask questions interactively, and perhaps each participant's answer will be different.
Nowadays, the young friends in the "Only Love Dramatic Fantasy City" project team are better at using the concept of big IP to extend the commercial value of the works. But Wang Chaoge always believed that "the only thing I would do, all I would do is tease me. Not the estimated box office-this matter is related to me, but it is not the origin of my departure, nor is it At the end of my departure. I hope that after watching my work, the audience will not only feel that it is worth the fare, but will feel that it has a long-lasting influence on his body and mind and will have very deep thinking."
In fact, there was a lot of pressure to do live performances. Wang Chaoge laughed and said, "Where can a female director play?", and she often crashes, "I can't collapse" if I can't move, but it recovers quickly, and I lie on for a second Just go back, this is where the duty lies."
